Name: Taxodium distichum - Fraxinus pennsylvanica Floodplain Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a streamside gallery forest dominated by <i>Taxodium distichum</i> with <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> usually occurring as the second most important canopy species. It forms a very narrow band along deeply incised (4.5 m [15 feet]) stretches of Linnville Bayou and possibly other streams in the Caney Creek and Colorado, San Bernard and Brazos river drainages within the Coastal Plain of Texas. Cypress knees to a height of 1.2 m (4 feet) are common in the creek bed. There is no significant mid- or understory though <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> and <i>Sabal minor</i> do occur. <i>Boehmeria cylindrica</i> and <i>Saururus cernuus</i> may be present in the ground layer which is sparse, highly disturbed by flooding and may have areas of standing water. Deep alluvial soils are usually saturated and periodically inundated during flood events. The surrounding forests include ~<i>Quercus virginiana / Ilex vomitoria - Sabal minor / Carex cherokeensis - Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii</i> Forest (CEGL007830)$$ and ~<i>Ulmus crassifolia - Carya illinoinensis - Celtis laevigata / Chasmanthium sessiliflorum - Carex cherokeensis</i> Floodplain Forest (CEGL002388)$$.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36103-{ED77967F-A5A4-453D-84AC-A9AD9F1719E3} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
